Schematic drawing of a single-stream setup with the stream angled relative to the diffractometer φ axis. A represents the outline of the cold stream. At B the crystal mounting pin protrudes 1–2 mm into the cold stream. This prevents frost from forming on the mounting fibre. The tip of the outlet end is heated above the dew point with a heating coil C. The cold stream misses the goniometer head, so no shield is required. In general, the simplest operation is attained with a setup similar to that shown here.
